Performance Seminar and the Recital/Concert Attendance Policy

Performance Seminar will be held in the Rosen Concert Hall each Friday (1:00 p.m.).  Student performances or other activities are scheduled.  Students are expected to register for Seminar each semester enrolled with the exception of terms in which they are satisfying internship and student teaching responsibilities (CI 4900, MUS 4900, MUS 4901). 

Students are expected to attend ALL Seminar meetings.  Students must present their bar-coded ID prior to each seminar to receive attendance credit.  A grade of "Unsatisfactory" (U) will be awarded if a student misses more than two meetings.  Students MAY NOT GRADUATE with a "U" remaining in Performance Seminar.  Dr. Beebe is responsible for scheduling Seminar performances, in consultation with the individual studio teacher.  Dr. Jackson is responsible for monitoring Seminar attendance.  Questions related to other aspects of Seminar should be directed to the Office of the Dean of the School of Music. 

In order to receive a satisfactory grade, all students enrolled in Performance Seminar (MUS 1500) are required to attend 10 recitals/concerts each semester in addition to the regularly scheduled Performance Seminar meetings (Fridays, 1:00 p.m.).  This number does not include programs in which the student participates.  The objective of this policy is to expose students to a variety of music, and to make them aware of the performance level and achievements of their peers and of the faculty.  "Recitals/concerts" will be defined as all on-campus events sponsored by the Hayes School of Music.  Permission to count any other event may be requested, on an individual basis, through the office of the Associate Dean of the School of Music. 

Attendance will be recorded at each event sponsored by the School of Music.  In order to receive credit for the performance, students must present their bar-coded ID before and after the performance.  Students who arrive late or leave early will not receive recital credit. Programs will not be accepted for events where scanning was provided.  Students who are caught cheating in this course requirement will be subject to the University Academic Integrity Code policies and procedures.
